As Hijab Row Intensifies in Karnataka, A Look at the Timeline of Events in Controversy

News 18  

A month ago on January 1, a group of students from a government pre-university college in Karnataka alleged that they were denied entry to their classrooms for wearing hijab. February 9: The BJP government in Madhya Pradesh also clarified that there was no proposal to ban hijab in educational institutions in the state under consideration even as state school education minister Inder Singh Parmar, who had backed hijab ban and proposed a dress code in schools, said his statement was “wrongly interpreted”. The student, who asserted that the protest demanding the girls’ right to wear hijab would continue, said she had the support of her teachers and claimed that the boys with saffron shawls who heckled her were “outsiders.” February 8: Protests erupted at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial College in Udupi after a large group of students wearing saffron stoles and headgears raised slogans in the college campus while hijab-clad Muslim girls were staging a protest demanding justice. January 3: Students from a government-run college in Karnataka’s Koppa district wore saffron shawls to counter Muslim girls wearing hijab inside the classroom. January 1: The issue first surfaced when Muslim girl students from a government-run pre-university college in Udupi district alleged that they were denied entry into the classroom for wearing hijab.
